Hi,
I am trying to run a simple code like finding all the users in the SharePoint site.
But I am seeing this error constantly no matter what I do!!
The Web application at [URL] could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.
I’ve changed project properties ‘Any cpu’ to x64Â and tried but failed.
Thanks
- The code is executed on a different machine – The SharePoint object model (except the Client API) requires to be run on the SharePoint server itself. It is not possible to run the application on a server which is not within the same SharePoint farm the code is trying to access.
- Insufficient Rights on the site collection – The code is executed in context of an account which does not have read permission on the site collection
- Incorrect Url being used – Verify that the site works correct in a browser and double check that the server is correct registered in the AAM settings
- Incorrect bitness – The SharePoint object model needs to be executed with the same bitness as the operating system. That means you cannot use the SharePoint object model in a 32-bit application if the Operating System and SharePoint are installed as 64-bit version. Ensure to compile the project using the correct bitness (64-bit on a 64-bit machine vs. 32-bit on a 32-bit machine)
- Incorrect .NET framework version – Ensure that the project is configured to use .NET 3.5. .NET 4.0 cannot be used with the current versions of SharePoint
